Seriously? You already answered your own question. We're not going to make a decision for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPiet:
Seriously!

And I failed to mention I have the engineering HBOOT

So if I understand correctly I need to OTA to 1.47.651.1 baseband, and then apply the radio updates, or is there an alternate 1.47.651.1 baseband update I should be using?

As an example should I be following

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

which is whitslack "How to start over: Fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 in one shot (no adb!)"?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
The newest radio and wimax come with the newest OTA if you're stock. They will only work on an rooted ROM if it is based on the newest OTA.

Again, you are not going to be spoon fed information that is readily available if you spend more than 2 minutes reading the posts on here. Find out what you have on your phone and you will answer your own questions. I could give you fish but I'd rather hand you a fishing pole.

[Droid Incredible General] patalo:
ok. soooo im using the cm6 nightly rom. it all is working wonderfully. no complaints what so ever excepppppt for one thing. the browser, it is the motorola droid browser. i have an incredible and i like the incredible browser for one reason. it has regular view of websites. not the stupid mobile view. now i guess my question is is their a way to get motorola browser to view web pages regularly or do i have to put incredible browser on the cyanogen rom? if so, how do i do it?

thank you very much for any comments back. :)
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
I don't know if it's just the Droid browser -- I would imagine it's the stock Android browser. Anyway, most sites give you the option to view the PC version, but if that doesn't work, I think there is a way you can edit your device's ID to appear as a desktop. I'm not sure how to do it, but I remember seeing something about doing it to watch Hulu videos on Nexus Ones so you could give it a search and try it out.
[Droid Incredible General] bagery77:
CM4 and CM5 had the option, so I find it odd that they would have taken it completely out.

That said, I thought I'd like "Desktop View" but after a few days, I found that I like certain pages full and certain pages mobile. My workaround for this was to go to the mobile page, switch it to full manually, then bookmark it as such. So anytime I want my pages full, I just bring them up through bookmarks. I know it may be a pain, but you can try this option til you find a better solution you can live with.
[Droid Incredible General] patalo:
it worked!

thank you both so much. each post was very helpful :)

[Droid X General] Crimson Blades:
My phone was reading 20% battery left after a long day of using it when I rebooted it. When it started back up the battery level read at 50% and didn't drop back down to the 20% that it read just minutes earlier before I restarted it. Has anyone else seen this kind of strange behavior?
[Droid X General] catalystsupreme2:
I see the same thing. I was down to 30 percent after 8 hours. Then i restarted the phone and it was up to 70% and its lasting another 8 hours. Great battery life, but the indicator sucks. To my understanding, that will be getting fix with the OTA later today
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
Yeah, this seems to be happening.. I just saw this happen to a friend and of course to me, multiple times. It seems to be cool. It's literally amazing you ask me. It's just about to die and you reboot and your back up to the top. Hmm.. It's not like our battery is going bad, I mean i average out way more than any android i have EVER used, then reboot and get more, whew, this is really the best "droid" ever! :D
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
Yep, I've seen it a number of times now. At the very least it makes planning ahead impossible. Am I really down to 30%, or will I have 80% after a reboot (grrr).

I've also seen the converse of this,where 20% drops off the cliff. Goes from 20% to 5% within a couple minutes.

Will certainly be great if the patch fixes this. Not at all clear from that cryptic leaked updates list.
[Droid X General] dezoris:
Yes same issue. If you reboot it always thinks the battery is higher than it is.
[Droid X General] synplex:
after the update Im still have the indicator problem. sucks :(
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
Mine's been fine after the update, except for the first reboot immediately afterwords, which I assume was just to correct the pre-update value. I've probably rebooted 3 or 4 times since, and have not seen the level jump. Hope that keeps up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fingaluna:
Hi All,

Anyone figure out a way to reduce the JPG compression on the Tilt2? I have tried the SuperFine mode and have tried tweaking other settings and removing the back cover, but the pictures are always pretty poor.

Not expecting SLR or even PHD camera quality, but passable would be really nice...

Cheers, and Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
what do you mean by "poor" quality, could you possibly take a picture and then upload it so we can see a sample?
[Captivate General] Byrus:
I've read 2 different things about how much memory the Captivate will see. Does anyone know for sure if it's 48 or 32 gigs?
[Captivate General] Croak:
I put my 32Gb Sandisk in my Captivate today...and it mounted ok, all 21Gb of installed music and movies on that card seemed to work fine, based on my random sampling.

Keep in mind that it makes a "fake" /sd directory in the root of the internal /sdcard, and that points to the external storage when using an Android file explorer like Astro. And also keep in mind that there's a lot of apps that just don't know about this directory, so they can't "see" the external storage.

Windows sees two distinct storage devices, however, as it should be.
[Captivate General] ghost77:
It has build in internal 16GB (2GB of that is reserved for apps) rest 14GB is data for whatever, Plus whatever Micro SDHC card you will add.

16+16 SD = 32GB

16+32 SD = 48GB

I have put 16GB micro SDHC to it (32GB cards are to expensive) connected to windows i get two drive letters one for Internal 14GB Data partition and one for my own 16GB card.

Hope that helped you.
[Captivate General] tbae2:
Yep the ATT site spec sheet says 32gb is supported by the phone. And from all appearances it does indeed seem to work with the phone just fine.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Now the real question. Who is going to tear apart the phone and replace the internal SD card (since I assume it's literally an internal microSD card as seen in other devices) with a 32 GB card and see if it can handle 32+32 GB. :D
[Captivate General] tbae2:
you seem like a willing volunteer ;)
[Captivate General] labbu63:
hmm if only i had two 32gb sd cards i would but they expensive
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
The real reason for replacing the internal SD card would be because it's so damn slow.
[Captivate General] centex99:
I agree with the slow part hence the mods to change the cache onto the external which speed up the phones.... any word on if the internal SD card is replaceable or not? If it is, that would be great news as its definately not as fast as a class 6 card and replacing it with one would definately speed things up.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Haha, exactly that. If I had the money for two 32 GB cards I'd try.

Edit Hmm... I saw a tear down of the Galaxy S and I didn't see an internal microSD card, so maybe it doesn't use a card like the Streak. Might be built in and unable to swap. Oh well!

So could someone help me out, I opened the "where" app and hit OK. then I read it and all I caught was $2.99 and "you must cancel or be charged" in red. Now I don't see anywhere in the app to cancel and can't uninstall it.

So if you could launch it and tell me how to cancel that would be cool.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
I am hoping a few other people will join me in hunting down the elusive vanilla lock screen that works with the stock rooted 1.47 ROM.

I am aware that Flipz has one that works with his and DC's ROMs, however, it does not work with the stock rooted ROM. The layout of the lock screen is vertical. It is very odd.

This seems like a simple fix, and I am certainly willing to contribute with testing, etc. So, if anyone has any free time and is looking for a project, I would love to see a functional vanilla lock screen.

Thanks in advance!

This is a flashable theme zip from DC. It should work with any ROM. Make sure you backup before flashing, you never know what can go wrong.

Give this a try. Make sure to delete HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app/.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjohnsonjr:
push this into the /system/framework/ and remove the HTCLockScreen.apk from /system/app/

Edit: Sorry the file is too large to upload. use the zip in the above post
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
It's a .zip file. Don't I need to flash it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
I think he meant to attach something. The .zip is a flashable zip, yes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:

I pushed the zip file into the system framework. I went into shell, then ran a chmod 6755 command.

The zip installed, but again, the lock screen is vertical.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
Ah, well it installed like I said, but the lock screen was vertical. I'm restoring right now, but then I'll try to install via recovery.

Edit: I just check his website. There are no stable mods nor are there experimental mods for the EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
It's a nightly build that's was just posted a couple hrs ago. There is a thread here in this forum with it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
Well, thanks for the heads up! I may install tonight. However, your post was not on point.

I may try CM6 when it is released, but I rather like the setup I have now. It's a stock rooted rom and today I successfully pushed the vanilla android messenger, calculator, music, clock and browser apps.

I think the vanilla lock screen is far more functional, albeit less attractive.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRick10:
Wow my prior post did not make sense lol. I believe CM6 has the Vanilla Lock Screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevyli85:
I always see the interest in the vanilla lock screen but I never understood why. I tried it on fresh and it doesn't give you a snippets of the text message on the front before you unlock. What's the advantage of the vanilla lock?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:
the only reason i like it is being able to go to silent mode without unlocking or holding the power button down. you can also just hit menu and it'll unlock without having to slide.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
You need full root with nand unlocked. You could use root explorer and mount as r/w. Alternatively you could reboot into recovery and use adb shell to delete the apk.

You can get a vanilla lock by deleting HTCLockScreen.apk. That apk is basically HTC's custom lock screen, removing it shows the android 'vanilla' one. Here's how:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit

Engadget

Engadget's on the fence, and Paul's (obviously) fully on board.

I'll add more as I find them/others find them. :) These are being released now as developer devices are shipping this week.

[Windows Phone 7 General] darkmurder:
I find the Engadget one generally praises it pretty well throughout but then has a whinge and moan at the end about how it's got no multitasking (even though mobiles today don't use true multitasking anymore) and how it has no copy and paste (which they've said will come after launch but he fails to mention that). Having said all that it was an enjoyable read and the first picture in the article looks gorgeous!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
If you watch the video it's definitely a positive tone as well. An interesting wrap up for sure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
He was clear with his praise, and clear with his contempt. It's what a good review should be. Whether anyone's opinion can truly match your own is probably impossible. A reviewer can only explain his POV to you and I thought he did a good job.
[Windows Phone 7 General] darkmurder:
I thought it was a good review but he was just picking at small gripes by the end and then made it sound as if it was worrying for MS when on the whole it seemed he enjoyed his experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Gizmodo posted their review. I'd say it's extremely positive and similar to Engadget's. They basically just say that it needs multitasking. It'll be interesting to see if/how Microsoft responds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
That's indeed very interesting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
The problem remains nobody can actually give a good argument for why a phone should have multitasking equal to that of a PC.

The tombstoning API will be enough for 99% of all applications.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Very good reads on many of them. The one thing that is bothering me is the MicroSD Support rumors. It would really stink if it only supported integrated memory. Not a complete deal breaker, but just another way to make the handsets cost more IMO.

What I am wondering is, has anyone with a dev phone tried to replace the MicroSD with a larger chip just to see what happens? I would greatly like to see WP7 support MicroSD in the sense I have heard where it just integrates the memory into itself which would be fine.

The only thing I could think would be the positive of integrated only memory would be to guarantee the speed at which apps access memory and such. With different speed MicroSD cards out there, that could cause issues with guaranteeing device speed. Hmm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
The good thing about no swappable sd cards is that it (should) push the OEM's to get off their asses with integrated storage. It's stupid that they haven't been pursuing that heavely already. One of the few things I like about the iphone. I don't want to buy cards, that's an additional cost. I want storage options with my phone when I buy it. I upgrade yearly anyway so if what is out now isn't enough I can live with it until the next year. Especially now with skydrive support partially there and I'm sure more so in the near future soon after launch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
This is true. I think the min of 16G is good and a good standard of 32 is better, but with the price of MicroSD continuing to go down, it is nice to be able to expand on a whim. (And use it as a USB Mass Storage which I bet will be hacked in the near future after release).

The inclusion of Skydrive is fantastic to a point. As long as I am on Sprint and Unlimited 3/4G stays Unlimited, I will be good, but all those poor AT&T people are going to be using up that limited 200M usage quick IMO and even the 2G limit isn't enough for my old TP2 now lol. This phone looks very Data intensive but at the same time extremely seamless with the way it works online. Brilliant!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
I thoroughly enjoyed the Engadget review. Seems most of the reviews were fairly positive with the exception of copy/paste, multitasking, and HTML5 support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
The no removable storage restriction isn't rumor, it's fact. Da_G explained how it will work in this thread[/thread].

The minimum amount of storage, whether it be a IC soldered onto the PCB or a microSD card in a socket, is 8GB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So that means when you upgrade you're forced to sync ALL the fckn content with the PC, otherwise it will be lost (besides OTA...)

Another flaw.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Not a flaw, design decision.

All your data on your phone will be synced to the cloud seamlessly. Think of it as a constant Dropbox syncpoint.

It's actually much more handy :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
You must be kidding me.

It's another stupid decision.

Why would I want to leave ALL my data on any server??!!

And even more: once I UPGRADE and will need to get back all of my data I will be forced to download like 8GB of stuff?

Pff, this is not handy. This is simply ****.

Now I have it all ALWAYS with me.

I really start to think Apple made a terrible impact on the whole industry, when even Microsoft follows actually all the worse trends.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I don't think your music is synced up the the cloud, just your other stuff. If you use the phone as MS invisions, the cloud and/or your PC will be your primary storage location for most of your data. Your phone will not be relied upon since it's inherently unreliable (gets lost or damaged relatively easily).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
You know, most users actually like the idea of a seamlessly backup functionality, that does everything for them, and they never ever have to sync.

Syncing is something silly old people with Windows Mobile phones does. Modern smartphone users don't even know what it means. They want/need software like iTunes to copy music, as they have zero idea of the concept of copying files from one folder on their harddrive to a specific folder on a USB flash drive.

You need to stop fighting against the cloud. It's comming, and you won't be able to avoid it. WP7 is a die-hard cloud-phone, even more than Google did with Android.
